"I’ve always wanted to belong to a team of super-smart people working on something meaningful and giving it their all. The place that feels the most like that is Constellation. My first visit to Constellation was the moment I thought ‘Wow, pulling off a mid-career pivot to AI safety is really something I could do.'"
